Fitness

The 1000 Steps Walk is an institution for fitness enthusiasts across Melbourne. Making the 3km trek one of the most popular spots in the Dandenong Ranges. Experience filtered sunlight through the Tree Ferns and Manna Gum as you make your way up. There is always a range of native wildlife to enjoy along the way from birdlife to even the odd Lyrebird. Created in the early 1900s, the 1000 Steps Walk was originally made from the trunks of tree ferns laid along the wetter areas of the track to make the 290 metre ascent somewhat easier. These have been replaced by a combination of wooden steps and concrete section overtime to ensure that the track can cater for users year round in all weather.
